TV-shows (recommendation(s))

Since I watch so much tv I keep on hitting moments where I have no clue on what to watch now.
I decided to make a list of what I've watched in the last couple of years and possibly people have some recommendations for me what to watch next.

COMEDY
- It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia (consider this to be the best show I've ever seen)
- Curb Your Enthousiasm (Gold Jerry! Gold! I still like Larry David on tv!)
- Scrubs (always enjoyed this very much, season 6,7,9 were not so good though)
- Friends (classic by now, but seen it to often now)
- How I Met Your Mother (first 4 seasons were very solid, last one not so much)
- The Big Bang Theory (Again pretty solid show which has very few weak episodes)
- Two and a Half Men (starting to slip, don't think it will work without charlie next season)
- Modern Family (Solid new show)
- Cougar Town (kindof meh, has some good moments but usually pretty predictable)
- Coupling UK (probably favorite UK show I've seen, esp first 3 seasons)
- Office US (getting weaker and weaker each year...)
- Better Off Ted (Had some very solid episodes and it is ashame it got cancelled!)
- Arrested Development (Pretty decent show, don't love it as much as many other people do though)
- Entourage (Definately Entertaining and worth the watch!)
- SeinFeld (Still pretty funny, except the stupid Jerry sketches at the beginning of the ep)
- Married with Children (Can still enjoy this but will admit that it might be a little outdated now)
- King of Queens (Okish, if you have nothing better to do you can watch this)
- Californication (Pretty solid but has some weak episodes from time to time.)
- 30 Rock (Never liked this at all, quit 6 eps in)
- Parks & Rec (same as 30 rock, quit 4 eps in)
- The Life and Times of Tim (Pretty entertaining, best moment in show: s02e04 at 19:50)
- Futurama (Amazing show, looking forward to the restart of this show!!)
- Simpsons (very solid from season 2 till 12, after that downhill and now almost unwatchable)
- South Park (Has very hit and miss episodes in my opinion, overall decently good)
- Family Guy (Same as south park, but overall pretty good to see it all)
- Hank (horrible, thank god it's cancelled)
- King Of The Hill (overall more bad then good eps, but can have its moments)
- Red Dwarf (Meh, if there is nothing better to watch it's ok to leave on)
- Worst Week (not particularly funny, quit about 10 eps in)
- Reno 911 (Can be very funny, or very lame)
- 3rd Rock From the Sun (really like this show, dick is amazing, getting slowly outdated)

SCI FI
- V 2010 (Remake of the old V, annoying plotholes, not great acting, but still watch it for some reason)
- Fringe (Very slow start but after get through that it becomes pretty interesting! storyline eps are amazing while the standalone eps usually are not very good)
- Lost (Very dissapointing ending but I did enjoy the first 5 seasons, with season 2 being very good! (unfortunately I will not rewatch this ever because of how they ended it)
- Stargate SG1 (original stargate, somewhat outdated by now but I can still enjoy it)
- Stargate Atlantis (Started of pretty good but seem to have run out of ideas at the end)
- Stargate Universe (newest stargate, unsure about sofar, not many relatable chars, might turn out to be good)
- Startrek Voyager (only Startrek I've watched and enjoyed it more then I should have I think)
- FlashForward (Horrible from the start and got even worse... luckily cancelled!)
- Masters of Science Fiction (very solid first episode, downhill after that)
- Heroes (Very fun first season, after that downhill, just imagine it got cancelled after season 1 and you should be good!)
- 4400 (started of great, thought they could've done more with the show. Unfortunately cancelled)
- FireFly (WHYYY did you get cancelled? )

ACTION
- Breaking Bad (Pretty good, only problem is that I have no characters I like, although Walter is ok)
- Prison Break (Very good first season, that is where they should've stopped, Season 4 was horrible)
- 24 (very good first seasons, season 7 was ridiculously dumb, haven't seen 8 yet)
- Veronica Mars (Very good show w/ Kristen Bell, def worth the watch!)
- Lie To Me (Very fun first season, but they seem to be out of ideas and show got stale in season 2)
- OZ (prety hard prison show.)
- Band of Brothers (watch this about once a year)
- The Shield (possibly one of the best Action shows ever created)
- Dexter (very good show (season 3 was not that good though), can't wait for seson 5!)
- Jericho (liked this very much, unfortunately cancelled halfway through season 2)

ANIME
- Death Note(one of the better shows I've seen, although they should've stopped about 15 eps earlier)
- Rurouni Kenshin (Decent, but more about char development then action)
- Naruto/Naruto Shippuuden (Just one of those shows you watch every week)
- Bleach (see Naruto)
- Hajime No Ippo (Boxing Anime which is surprisingly good and fun to watch! New eps coming this year)
- The Golden Boy (only 6 eps but all very very funny)
- Berserk (I enjoyed this to the part where the Anime stopped and it only continued in Manga)
- Ghost (just started to like this when no new eps came out)
- Yu-Gi-Oh (how dumb this show might be, I enjoyed it...)
- Avatar (meh, didn't really like this)


MISC
- Survivor (. At the top of my alltime favorite shows, the whole concept appeals to me alot and after 20 seasons I still love it, seen each season at least twice)
- Desperate HouseWifes (only seen first two seasons and was ok but not great)
- Gossip Girl (meh, characters never develop and looks like regardless of what happens the characters reset at the next episode/arch)
- Jersey Shore (classic)
- Glee (not my type of show, quit 8 eps in)
- Survivorman (very entertaining show on how to survive)
- I shouldn't be alive (very realisticly made episodes)

What Now?
I don't know what to watch next, have the following shows lined up/downloaded:
Battlestar Galactica, Community, Treme

But I need more recommendations for after I'm done with those/ I don't like those.
I'm considering the following shows:
Eureka, The Wire (couldn't get into it a year back), Mad Men

But I'm open to anything at this time... since it looks like I watch way way way to much tv

Robin out.

mehhhhhh how can you like a show as poorly written as family guy and not like something as brilliant as AD? have you actually watched much gossip girl? i feel like there is a ton of character development.

I suggest watching Archer. Its a pretty brainless show, but boy is it hilarious.

I did like AD, just don't have the same fanboylove for it that I see on the online forums.

I watched Gossip girl for two and a half seasons and then gave up. I felt the same as dids and holeplug on 2+2
Quote:
The show seems to operate on 3-4 episode mini arcs and then just basically scraps what happened and starts over again. I imagine they did research and found this works well with the target audience of 12-18 year old girls.
Quote:
Chuck is evil, NO WAIT HE'S GOOD, no he's bad again. Blair is nice, NO BLAIR IS MEAN, no she's nice. Serena is smart, NOPE SHE'S A BRAT, nope she's just got daddy issues. Dan is a prick, OH DAN'S STILL A PRICK, yeah- dude is pretty much a prick.

But never watched Archer, will give it a go! (never even heard of it)

Really recommend Peep Show, it gets progressively better and season 4 of that is one of my all time favourite series' of anything (keeping in mind that I have as much fanboy love for AD as anyone in the world).

yeah Firefly was f'ing great. Makes me think you might be the kinda person who would dig Wonderfalls.

Community is underrated i think. when that show hits its stride its going to get even better i think.

Also, check out Twin Peaks. Watch Seasons one and two and then reward yourself with the movie "Fire Walk With Me". Probably my favorite TV show ever

Rescue Me is pretty damn good too. Great characters.

1. archer is awesome
2. arrested development not in there? it's certainly better than shows like king of the hill, parks and rec, reno 911, ect

The Wire, hands down. Sopranos, hands down part 2.

Freaks and Geeks/Undeclared

Whenever I want some mindless super-weird humor I pop in Aqua Teen Hunger Force (although it's not really a series per-se)

idk if u like documentaries or not but most of the ones by Louis Theroux are pretty good, he usually investigates or documents a 'subculture' (term i found on net which was used in reference to him) examples are swingers, people who get alot of plastic surgery and high rollers etc.

I'm probably the biggest The Shield fan on earth (well, I think it's the best show ever created) and I have to say that The Wire is very very good too. Snapwatch. I also heard that Sons of Anarchy is pretty good (and dutchboy is in it!!!).

+1 on death note being awesome, cept for the ending
+1 on abed being awesome, nothing can beat abed + troy rap, library, discospider, disco tecka, lard. haha.

And also completely agree with ya on always sunny in philadelphia, i watchedfirst 4 seasons in like 4-5 days. It's just doesn't give a shit about anything which is sacred/taboo, and the characters are so egotistical but just work in some strange but awesome way.

And if you want to add another to your anime list- Full metal alchemist was good.

Just finished watching Community and after a slow start it turned out to be pretty amazing show!
Spanish Remix!

Can't wait for the next season!
Next up: Archer.

Turns out, poker is gay.
Liking archer sofar, but almost through all the eps already cuz it's only 9 eps sofar

After thinking about it, I will probably rewatch Arrested Development soon, because it has been some time since I've seen that!
